Solution A

Internal Solution-ID: S4684

Equipment needed: Anaerobic workbench Filter Autoclave
1 First dissolve iron(III) citrate in 800 ml distilled water and adjust pH to 7.0 with 10 N NaOH. Then, add the remaining minerals, bring volume to 970 ml and autoclave under a N2 atmosphere. Add aseptically and anaerobically the following filter-sterilized solutions:
